We were under a DDoS attack about a month ago too, but were lucky that it didn't manage to affect our business. With that in mind, we took it as a (precious) learning experience - how often do you get the chance to learn about DDoS defence 1st hand?

I realize we were lucky that the attacker didn't find any of the soft spots (or at least none that hurt us). We do prioritize security though, always.

I hope all goes well for you and that in time this is just another learning experience. Maybe next time you'll smile when an attack is thwarted because of what you've all learned.

We get attacked several times a month, we rely on Cloudflare & Corero to mitigate attacks. Cloudflare handles HTTP/s attacks and Corero handles network level attacks.

Both require tweaking and are far from being 1-click setup tools (despite some marketing attempts that try to make it seem that way), however, if you can manage them, they are very powerful and considerably cheaper than other alternatives.

Thank you, I didn't know about Corero, will check them out. CF we use, and as you said, they are a tool. Plenty of ways they could be better, but they are still the best (in moderate price range) we know.
